A magical experience with AMAZING service!
The staff at Tamanu MADE our holiday. Florida, John, Nicholas and all the staff went above and beyond to help us and look after every little thing we needed during our stay. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
The rooms are beautifully designed, large spaces inside and the outdoor plunge pool wonderful and all cleaned daily.
The resort is small and intimate, with beautiful spaces to explore including the main pool and spa - get a massage, it's well worth it! The restaurant is wonderful and the food and cocktails - always fabulous - even when there was an issue with a dish, there was no charge and the staff super-apologetic.
I would go back to Tamanu in a heartbeat and recommend the resort for anyone travelling to Vanuatu.

5-star from start to finish
Our stay in Vanuatu was truly 5-star from start to finish. From the incredible food and outstanding service to the wonderful staff and beautiful amenities, everything exceeded our expectations. We absolutely loved our time there!
The resort Tamanu On The Beach Resort & Spa was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. While the weather wasn't the best during our stay, it didn't take away from what was still a wonderfully relaxing getaway. The resort is a fair distance from town but right on the beach, but this was never an issue as the hotel shuttle made getting around so easy — and nothing was ever too much trouble.
A special shout-out to Florida in the restaurant, who went above and beyond during our stay. Her warmth, care and willingness to help made such a difference, and truly, nothing was too much trouble.
And Margaret in the Day Spa — I honestly couldn't rate her highly enough! She was absolutely wonderful and made the experience even more special.
We left feeling completely relaxed and so grateful for the beautiful experience. We would happily return and highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a truly special Vanuatu getaway. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
